I need $10 from you on Tuesday. It could save lives.

Here’s the deal. Facebook is holding a contest to see which non-profit organization can get the most $10 donors this month. If Love Without Boundaries (the organization I work with in Loudi) wins, it will receive $50,000 to use for emergency surgeries for orphans in China. That’s a whole lotta cash!

Believe it or not, almost a thousand people have already donated to LWB this month … and it’s now in second place, 60 donors behind the current leader. I have more visitors than that to this website every day … so if you and a few of your friends will commit to donate on Tuesday, we can close that gap and win $50,000 for these precious and hurting children.

Here’s how:

If you don’t already have a facebook account, just create one. Then, on Tuesday morning before noon, go to the LWB page, join the cause, and donate $10.

It’s that easy.

If you’re seriously considering closing this window without doing anything, I ask you to reconsider. The sacrifice is so small but the payoff is huge … the race is so close that your choice is actually really meaningful, potentially mobilizing a network of physicians and caregivers to step in and rescue these kids who are desperately in need of surgery. Suck it up and give, dude.

I’d also love it if you’d spread the word through your blog or facebook account … let people know how far their $10 can go to change a life. Last year you helped to raise $5,000 for these orphans … now’s the time to add on another zero (and a whole lot more hope).

Let’s do this!
